one thing he did was his brother's district he dropped it from 45% latino down to 31% latino, his brother would be safe and wouldn't face a challenge in the democratic primary by a latino candidate. another thing he did is got democrats and republicans together to pursue incumbent power so in other words sometimes we see these gerrymanders meaning one part is trying to pick up as many seats as possible, in california in that particular year basically the democrats get together with the republicans and they said let's not push for party gains but preserve our own seat and focus on incumbent gerrymandering and draw districts that benefit us so we are not challenged. that's burma. >> what role to the computers play in the current election system? is it good or not so good? >> computers are a tool so i think they can be great and they can also cause problems. with people like michael berman they can do more than ever. they have much more data, they can map things much more easily before people used to guess and estimate about the census and where people lived and taking the data from the list

heritage while the hoover school had 152 students,al of them latino. -- all of them latino. the suit was filed pre-brown, and thus in an era where the supreme court continued to sanction separate but equal schools. nevertheless, a district judge in los angeles struck down the mexican schools on the argument that they did violate the equal protection clause, and he was upheld on much narrower grounds by the ninth circuit. that could have ended the matter, but the ninth circuit's ruling did not force the state to address other aspects of discrimination in its schools. and as a result, if it had settled there, the state education code would still have included language that permitted separate schools for chinese and other asian students. instead, in june of 1947, warren signed the legislation that struck that language and ended all formal racial segregation in california schools. so the warren who managed the warren court, who came to the court in '53 knew racism in schools and most importantly, i think, in the context of brown he understood politics. his management of the cour

latinos are larger minority group that african-americans and neither one of them is the fastest growing racial minority groups. fastest-growing major -- racial minority group is asian-americans. african-americans are growing at 12.3%. white americans only 5.7% rate. and other rapidly growing group are people like the president's who could check more than one box in the race and ethnicity section of their questionnaire. seems to me in a country like that we cannot have a legal regime that supports people according to their skin color and what country their ancestors came from and treat some people better and other people worse based on which silly little box they check. frequently the people who are arguing in favor -- let me tell you two minutes into the debate we are not talking about educational benefits of a racial conversation. we are talking about slavery. we are talking about racial disparity. that is the only justification anybody really believes in. even the academics don't really believe there are these compelling interests. that is not their justification. why do we have these
